Re: Incorrect Sales Tax Calculation

I am using my PayPal account, and the is PayPal address is "confirmed". The zipcode is "32934". If you need the full address, I will send directly to you, would rather not post.
Thank you for the assistance.

Re: Incorrect Sales Tax Calculation

Zen Cart takes the customer's address (shipping in this case, because you've selected Shipping as your Tax Basis), checks whether that address fits inside any zones you've defined in your store.
Then it checks for tax classes assigned to your products, and then checks those tax classes to see if any tax rates are set up for that zone and tax class ... and applies tax based on that tax rate.
It then does the same for shipping: checks what tax class has been set in the shipping module, compares that with tax rates for that class, and assess the shipping tax.
The two are then added together and shown in the tax subtotal.

So, since your shipping tax is showing fine, but you say your product tax is not, that leads me to believe that either your tax class is not set on your products, and/or does not have a tax rate associated with the zone that matches the customer's address. Or you've got code that's been altered by customization, by addons, missing because of bad/failed uploads, etc.

Re: Incorrect Sales Tax Calculation

I will check settings again. When editing the products, if the "Price Net" shows $8.00, "Price Gross" shows $8.48, would that indicate that the product has the correct tax class for that zone ? (Since I have set up the "Florida" zone with a tax rate of 6%)

Like I said originally, fresh install, no add-ons. I did, however, do as suggested and created "custom" template folders so I could change background color and text. I read that if I made changes to the original folders, any update or upgrade could overwrite my changes.

Where would I find the code to verify that it hasn't been changed ?
Thank you.

Re: Why is it only calculating tax on shipping, not on my products?

I think this problem has been solved !! In re-checking all my values, I noticed I had a "Zone Definition" defined for "United States" with a Tax Rate of "0%", which was a higher priority (2) than my "Florida" zone (1). Once I deleted the "United States" zone, it started calculating the correct sales tax !! Also found another post on how to remove "tax" on shipping charges.

Note to self: Don't set up a "Zone Definition" for any US zones UNLESS you plan on charging tax for that zone !!
